Chapter 362 Chapter 359 "Rin."

  Su Mingan looked at the red-level staff in his hand.

   Bonnie dropped a red-level fire staff, which was completely useless to him. Maybe it could be used as a gift to Noel, as a favor for the previous red-level weapons.

   He walked into the church and told Lin Yin to come as soon as possible.

   It seemed very quiet in the hall. He stared at the colorful paintings on the glass, and suddenly realized that it was a picture of a priest flying white doves in front of the burning church.

   He stepped forward, touched the bottom of the painting, and suddenly heard the system prompt:

   "Ding dong!"

  [*Get Su Rin's Memory Stone]

   [Su Rin's memory stone: Su Rin used to record things in the past, you can enter a piece of Su Rin's past. (Dig deeper into the identity clues to get more memory stones, which can advance the progress of perfect customs clearance.)]

  …

  Su Ming'an did not expect that he could get so much information by touching the painting.

   He looked at the memory stone in his hand. It was more than half an hour before Lin Yin arrived, and he had nothing to do during that time.

   Also, what is the so-called "hero" in the mission...

   He thought, but still crushed the memory stone in his hand.

  …

   In the misty sea fog, the white sails of the fishing boats appear and disappear like seagulls.

  Su Mingan opened his eyes and saw the crew walking in front of him.

   "Captain, an abnormality was found ahead." A crew member was talking to him.

   "What's abnormal." Su Rin said, his voice was obviously much more immature, as if he was not yet an adult.

   The scene presented by this memory stone seems to be before the Cloud City incident. Su Rin has not yet become the so-called Great Su engineer.

   "...Maybe, siren." The crew swallowed: "We seem to have heard a strange singing."

   "Avoid." Su Rin said immediately.

   He ordered the surrounding crew to turn around, ran to the front of the ship, picked up the binoculars and looked over there.

  Through the confused sea fog, you can vaguely see an island above the distant sea. Vaguely singing came from the island.

   Krakens have the ability to deceive people. They can use their sweet songs to lead passing ships to them, and make them hit the rocks and destroy them.

   He put down the telescope and directed the ship to turn.

   But after a while, the singing got closer and closer, and the island seemed to be approaching on its own initiative, gradually approaching the ship.

   Panic began to appear on the ship, and some people even passed out.

  The legend of the Kraken is too terrifying, and no one wants to be buried in the sea.

   "Everyone plug their ears! The ship turns immediately." Su Rin ordered.

   His orders came quickly, but the song still rushed towards them through the cotton that blocked their ears.

   No matter how the ship turns, everyone can only watch the weird island getting closer and closer to them...

  Su Rin immediately stepped onto the bow, pulled out the noble sword from his waist, and pointed at the island.

  On the lush island of flowers, he saw the legendary Siren sitting among the flowers.

   She is looking at him, her face is beautiful and delicate, her eyes are long and seductive, and her dark pupils are inlaid on her pale cheeks, like a blooming black rose.

   Slightly curly blue hair rippling behind her, as if floating in the sea without wind, and the fishtail covered with diamond-like scales is curled up among the gorgeous flowers, like a soft silver satin.

   She looked so beautiful.

   A beautiful singing voice came from her bright red lips, and the ethereal high-pitched voice tempted the crew who had just drawn their weapons.

   Their eyes widened and stared.

   The weapons in their hands "bang bang" fell to the ground, and they walked forward uncontrollably, as if they wanted to jump into the sea on their own initiative.

   "Wake up!" Su Rin shouted, awakening the drowsy group of people in an instant.

  Su Rin is one of the few people who is still sane.

   He was not fooled by the Kraken's beautiful singing voice and gorgeous face, and the tip of the sword still pointed at the Kraken in the flowers.

   But everyone soon discovered that the ship had run aground at some point, and there was a big hole in the side of the ship, and they could no longer leave the island.

  When people were panicking, the siren stopped singing.

"Take off those things that are not fun." The Kraken persuaded, her voice could even enter everyone's mind through the wax: "I can let you go, and even give you endless treasures - as long as you and I make a deal."

   The ship is returning, and there is not much food and fresh water.

  If the Kraken refuses to let them go, they will starve to death on this boat.

   The deputy captain was moved.

   The bearded man asked, "What deal are you going to do?"

   The beautiful and moving Kraken smiled.

With    blue hair floating behind her, she stretched out her hand and rolled up her hair, pearl-like fins quivering on the side of her face.

   "I am Siren, the watcher of the shipwreck." She said softly: "Your ship should have been buried here because of the shipwreck... But I can't bear it.

   My singing voice is so desirable, but the travelers who come and go are so afraid of me.

   My island is so bright and beautiful, but the travelers who come and go just want to stay away from me.

  I have the most beautiful face, the most beautiful singing, the most beautiful island.

  …but I am lonely and I long for a guest who can share this beauty with me.

   I can give you innumerable treasures, mountains of gold, the most perfect pearls in the sea.

  I can give you a safe return home, endless glory, the seal of the king, the love of the people.

  I just want a guest that I long for.

   As long as this guest does not leave me. "

   Hearing her words, people showed longing and greed.

  The gold piled up into mountains, the pearls in the sea... These will bring great help to their future.

   Just hand over one person.

   As long as one of them remains.

  The rest of them can return safely with the supreme treasure promised by the siren.

   There is no better deal than this.

   "Who do you want?" a crew member eager to leave, couldn't wait to ask.

   They removed the wax from their ears one after another, showing a greedy look.

   Siren smiled.

  Her fingers slowly pointed to the young captain who was still holding a sword at her in the middle of them.

   "I want you." She said softly, "Young guest."

  Su Rin was instantly focused by countless lines of sight.

   The deputy captain next to him stared at him with longing eyes. The first officer he trusted silently drew the sword from his waist. Even the ordinary crew members on the side surrounded him faintly.

   He looked around at the people who had suddenly changed their positions.

   In the sight of countless desires, his hand holding the sword trembled.

   At this moment, he heard his very calm voice:

"it is good."

  …

  The crew of pearls and gold left the island excitedly, singing and dancing on their way to greatness.

  Su Rin stayed, but the Kraken did not force him.

   She served him the delicious fruits of the island, sang for him, told him stories like an innocent little girl, and treated him like a guest.

   There were far fewer dead at sea, and the storm seemed to be calmed down.

  When the process suddenly slowed down, the siren's voice sounded:

   "I left you because I was about to die." Siren said: "You made me very happy these days, thank you."

  “…”

"A few months ago, the little girl of your royal family also met me, unfortunately, she was not obedient and just wanted to steal my soul. I gave her a false soul so that her knights could stop harassing her Me." Said the Kraken, "and now, the dying me, will give you my true soul."

  Su Rin stared at her beautiful face.

   She put her cracked hand on his, and told him softly.

   She said that she was a siren, and she should have lived by seducing travelers and sucking their souls.

   But she was too lonely, too lonely. The long life became the shackles that bound her, and the flowers of the island could not make her happy, so she begged him to stay.

   She no longer sings the sinful song that brought the ship to the rocks, she sings softly, she only sings for her only guest.

   She said she knew about the disaster in Praia and the difficulties they faced - the storm lingered near Praia and people were being forced to find new resources.

   She raised her hand and let Su Rin look at the sky.

  Su Rin raised his head, he saw a circle of shadows floating above the sky.

   It is a city in the clouds that is protected by gods and is not destroyed by storms in legends.

   "Is that true?" he asked.

   "No, I guess, that's fake." Said the Kraken, "But my guest, you can make it 'real'."

"what do you mean…"

"Those who betrayed you are abominable." Said the Kraken: "Go back, my guest. Go back to your homeland, go back to your homeland. To deceive people - to say that there are long-dwelling gods in the cities of heaven, He is infinitely merciful, and He will bless you and protect you from the storm.

  —You can, trick the people who have deserted you, trick them into boarding the airship, into that city, and let them die to save your resources.

  My soul, can give you special power and long life. From now on, you will no longer be afraid of special terrifying races, you will not die because of strange poisonous gas, and you will not be trapped in all kinds of human diseases...

   Even, you can have the ability to nurture your own "next generation" and let people become your "Petri dishes" to live forever.

   You can exploit people's hatred, wage wars, stir up their emotions, and create mass deaths to prolong your life.

   You can deceive people with this, build an airship to board that cloud city, and send the guys you hate to hell. Then make the remaining people into your "Petri dish", you are enough to rule your hometown and become the only and eternal king of Praia. "

   She was still singing softly, and her voice was evocative.

   Her words are demagogic, almost irresistible.

   But her guest sighed softly:

   "…but it would be wrong to do so."

  The Kraken's eyes widened slightly, she couldn't believe it.

   "They deceived you first." She didn't understand that.

"But what did the other people do wrong?" Su Rin said softly: "The royal family is not at fault for letting people live and work in peace and contentment, and so is the common people who don't know about it. Heroic soul hunters, people struggling to survive, they I did nothing wrong. Since I return with my strength, I will naturally lead them into the future."

   "What are you going to do?" the siren asked,

   Looking at the very puzzled Kraken, Su Rin said slowly:

   "You have given me... a long life, the power of not fearing the soul clan, the body that is not afraid of poisonous gas, and the ability to cultivate a 'Petri dish'.

Then, I will use these abilities to board the city in the cloud and find a suitable way to save my hometown-why does it float in the sky, why is it not afraid of storms, I will use this indelible pair of body, get the answer above the city. "

   "Don't do this." The Kraken was incomprehensible to her guest's behavior: "You will endure a long and lonely life like me."

   Facing the sea monster whose body was gradually cracked, and staring at her dark eyes, Su Rin smiled.

   "With the homeland I want to watch, I will never be alone." He said.

  …

   The blood-colored spar cracked in front of him.

On top of the    colorful painting, the priest burning with fire raised his hands high towards the kingdom of heaven. The white dove fluttered at his fingertips, the flames like his outstretched wings.

  Su Mingan opened his fingers, and the fragments of the spar slowly fell.

   He suddenly noticed a voice behind him.

   "Rin," she said.
